nothings impossible
It is a waste that Clementi town didnt make it but it is expected as they always threw points away. They made at least 7 service errors during the game. Well, it is also true that HCI did play quite well to qualify but sad to say they will not be playing in the finals. Impossible for them to beat sqs.
define traditional & non-traditional pls ty.
but actually today hc did some nice quick balls
not really non traditional

aiya but all along out one -.-
yeah he has the right to criticize. just that non traditional play gained hc for a position into nats. well done hc. and good play by ctss who displayed great team spirit.

Of course I have the right to critize. Everybody is entitled to their views. They are a team who has never gone passed the first round of the Nationals anyway. This is a fact btw
